New York City-based musician and singer Natalie Rose LeBrecht shared 'Holy,' a song that deftly brings together ambient, devotional music, spiritual jazz, and cosmic songwriting. It's the second and final pre-release single from her forthcoming full-length, Holy Prana Open Game.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Jim White, Paul Fonfara, and John Keane, the project continues Diaz’s overarching themes of family orientation and paying homage to her homeland, with her fear of forgetting cherished memories of Venezuela fueling the inspiration behind the reimagined renditions of the iconic folk songs.

Natalie Rose LeBrecht's recordings, from the teenage 4-track tapes she made as Greenpot Bluepot to the recent albums under her own name, have been fascinating dispatches from her progressively deeper dives into her gorgeous, weird, wildly idiomatic aesthetic. Holy Prana Open Game is a jewel of intensely personal cosmic music.

The track was recorded with Jim White at his house in Athens, GA, Jesse Magnum at The Glow Studio, also in Athens, and the Bomb Shelter in Nashville (Ben's hometown) with Drew Carroll engineering. Jim White produced the track, while the mixing and mastering was done by John Keane.

Drummer Jim White and guitarist Marisa Anderson have announced their debut collaborative album The Quickening, out May 15th. The Quickening's first single 'The Lucky' speaks to the album's spontaneity, featuring an acoustic guitar Anderson picked up outside of Mexico City from a local luthier ahead of recording, on a whim.

For Ben Markley's fourth recording, the fleet pianist/composer teams with New York tenor saxophone great Joel Frahm for a dynamic set of modern jazz originals. Though written specifically with the band of Frahm, drummer Jim White, and bassist Marty Kenny in mind, Markley continually finds inspiration from significant influences in his musical life, most notably Cedar Walton, Chick Corea and Bill Evans. With engaging and elevating support from Kenney and White, Markley and Frahm pop on the boogaloo ''Mon Back,' strike a Jazz Messengers-esque pose on the grooving 'Return of Catboy,' and strut on the half-time funk of the title tune. 'Frahm's playing bubbles over with ear-catching inventiveness and a robust, positive feeling.' - Ottawa Citizen
